Faliraki is on the Greek island of Rhodes and is one of the liveliest resorts in the Mediterranean. Known for its bars, clubs and all night beach parties, it has been a popular destination for the under 30’s for quite some time. While most of the island sleeps off its hangover after a nights partying, some of the islands other tourists spend the morning/mid afternoon at the Faliraki nudist beach. Most of the party crowd are not even aware ofRead More

Saunas first came into existence in Finland, around 2000 years ago. The tradition of the sauna has continued to this day. Currently, Finland has five million citizens, and more than two million saunas. That’s an average of one sauna for every household. Saunas are considered a necessity in Finland, rather than the luxury they are seen as elsewhere in the world. There’s even a sauna in the Finnish Parliament! The traditional sauna is made of wood, and heated with rocks.Read More

The first work I encountered of Jaeda DeWalt was one of her self-portraits with mannequin figures. The plastic look of the figures is softened by the usage of light and shades of grey. In this black & white photo the human body is almost equal to the mannequins surrounding it. It’s the same with the pose of Jaeda, it makes the human and plastic body’s blend together as a group of equals. The main difference is the anonymity of theRead More

The concern about safe sex has resulted in a revival of monogamy. But there is no turning back the clock. Sex is out of the closet since the free love days of the sixties. The problem with monogamy has always been boredom. The initial passion drops off pretty rapidly in a typical relationship, but not the lust of sexual desire. Eventually, the right (or wrong) set of circumstances come together and you have infidelity. It’s not that people are bad,Read More

Hand on heart, how many of us have been on vacation close to nude beaches and have not taken a look or at least wondered what the experience of going nude would be. Having stayed in resorts where nudity is allowed and visited nude beaches for our offline travel and vacation business, I know it’s a summer vacation idea that many have considered… To go nude or not to go nude? That is the question that many vacationers end upRead More

Being critical of Buddhism isn’t easy. Buddhism is the most likable of the major religions, and Buddhists are the perennial good guys of modern spirituality. Beautiful traditions, lovely architecture, inspiring statuary, ancient history, the Dalai Lama — what’s not to like? Everything about Buddhsim is just so… nice. No fatwahs or jihads, no inquisitions or crusades, no terrorists or pederasts, just nice people being nice. In fact, Buddhism means niceness. Nice-ism. At least, it should. Buddha means Awakened One, soRead More

Primitive camping is allowed only on designated camp areas and most laws prohibited people from setting up primitive camp on established sites. A lot of primitive campers enjoy the many camping sites throughout the United States. Mainland camping is allowed only at designated campgrounds and campers must attain a permit before camping. There are no reservations for sites; each site is available on a first-come first-serve basis, with no camping fees required. Washington State and Southern California offer some ofRead More

When scientists did a study on the genetic makeup of the common body louse, they were able to establish the approximate time that human beings first began to wear clothing. The louse is a parasite that feed on the human body, but can not do so with out clothing. The testing showed that humans first began to wear clothing 72,000 years ago. Since Homo sapiens have been around for 200,000 years, it appears that all humans have been nudists forRead More

In this day and age of feminism and women’s liberation, it’s hard to believe that public breast feeding is still considered somewhat of a “taboo”. I’d like to think Americans are generally open minded and accepting, especially when it comes to a mother and her child. The sad fact is that our culture still views breast feeding in public as “indecent” because of the exposure of a woman’s breast (gasp). And partial exposure, at that. Although the vast majority ofRead More

Your body is a vehicle that houses you while you are having this human experience. You are spirit your body is the housing or as the Bible says your body is a temple.Depending on how you love it and create it. Yes, you create this physical body just as you create everything else in your life. Do you talk to your body? Do you tell it you love it everyday. Are you grateful for your body. What we love andRead More
